Hi, Everybody

i'm very happy to present you my last production, done with lightwave 11.6 and fully rendered octane plugin for lightwave. This is the introduction of a DVD for a french artistic festival that i realise each year ( about 2 hours lenght, showing pieces of shows from about 30 national & international companies ).
I used domain public motion captures and IK Booster to apply bvh and tweak them.
Music is fromThe Wombo orchestra, a music band from my region.

Some ( but not all ) sequences are rendered with octane motion blur feature from the lightwave plugin ( some other uses the after effects motion blur, as it is much more faster ).
I used a lot the LWSN command line rendered to render this huge project during night.

Superbes effets de caméra^^
Félicitations!

Your continuity, composition and animation is great.
Your cloth material could use a bit of help though.
If you get a chance try a cloth simulator like marvelous designer and you will get more realistic folds in the cloth.
The solid plastic look of the clothing brought it down from what would otherwise be A+ to B- for me.

yes indeed
in fact there's no cloth objects in these animation, as tha actual one are just geometries deformed with bones.
I was out of time for this, as the clip is totally oversised, compared to the demand of the client.
If i had 1 month + to work on it, i'd have worked a lot of details, actually too 'rough' like facial animation, more details in lanscapes, smokes when buildins are falling etc...
but thanks for your suggest

I cry tears of blood
